Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Shinkansen

Shinkansen cannabis strain by Flip Side is a cross between Uptown Haze (aka uptown piff) x Topanga Sour Kush. The legendary cross from NYC paired with the Topanga profile from Cali gives Shinkansen the perfect name as you'll feel like you're on both coasts after your first session. The hazy peach cultivar is great for both outdoors and indoor growers alike
